Parking on the UMF Campus for Gold LEAF Members
Members of the Gold LEAF Institute Senior College are allowed to park, with a permit, on the University of Maine Farmington campus in commuter parking lots (lots 11,12 and 15). Please note that UMF students are required to pay a fee each year to obtain a parking permit; HOWEVER, UMF has graciously waived that fee for Gold LEAF members.

UMF Campus Parking
For more information on parking regulations on the UMF campus go to the Public Safety Office website at http://publicsafety.umf.maine.edu/, or click on UMF Parking Policies
Complete the UMF parking permit application form (pick one up from the Gold LEAF office) and return it to the Gold LEAF office. The UMF Department of Public Safety will mail your permit directly to you.
The UMF Department of Public Safety is diligent about checking permits and will issue tickets to anyone parked in the wrong lot or without a permit.
For people with an Accessibility sticker with a wheelchair on it, there are five places in the High Street lot, from which a ramp leads up to the Student Union building. There is one such place along South Street, and a few in the lot along Main Street that leads up to Ricker Addition.
Parking Off Campus:
Parking spaces are often available along Main Street, and in the public parking lot behind the Post Office (two- or three-hour limits apply). Carpooling is always a good option. Passengers may be left off near the classroom and only the driver has to find a parking spot.
Tips:
Marked signs at the entrance to each parking lot indicate the specific color of the parking decal that is necessary to park in each particular lot. A yellow decal indicates commuter parking in Lots 11, 12 and 15. Fines for parking in the wrong lot, or for not displaying a valid parking permit, range from $10.00 to $25.00. Be careful where you park! Display your permit before leaving the car. Read the Parking Policies brochure that can be picked up at the UMF Department of Public Safety, if you don't already have one. The Department of Public Safety is located at 112 Maguire Street.
